And also Stanton, because it's my wife's favorite.

Call me (or email or PM), please. I have something else that will interest you.

Edit: Me!!

Edit2: Also, are you joining us Saturday night at Scott & Jana's?

Edit: Reminder that unfortunately, there can be no smoke from the sacred leaves in the Suite, but maybe on Saturday or Sunday, we can partake.

Edit2: And now it says 4:13 am???? No way was I still up then!

Quick reminder that we should be able to keep the glasses from D&D, especially if you want to drink wine at the After Party!!

If you are local, and want extra glasses, please ask those attending if they aren't keeping them, to give them to you when they are done. Also, you might want to see if you can snag any empty glass boxes from D&D.

These are (were?) extremely nice glasses for Cab/Syrah/PS. No year on them, but handy to have. I have the were? in there, because I thought I read they may have different glasses this year. But we should still be able to keep them.

Hey, mommadeb: Check to see if your car rental rates have gone down. If fact, keep checking this week before you go. I have been know to get great deals the day or two before we leave thru SWA--I check the rates, book the new car (to make sure that I really can get the better rate ) and then, cancel the old car. However, I don't think they're going to be able to beat our $57 for Tues - Sun at Advantage.

On another note: I realized last night when I went to sign us up for EarlyBird Check-in that, for some reason, I wasn't eligible to do this, but ddeuddeg had already been signed up to do so. OK, fine. This morning I went to check in and printed my boarding passes. Out of Vegas, I have A19 and ddeuddeg has A30! That makes no sense! How do I have an earlier number than he has when they were to check him in automatically with EarlyBird check-in! Next question: will they actually run this plane? They have two other planes scheduled to go to Oakland within a half hour of our scheduled departure. However, these planes have stops and get to OAK quite a bit later--sure to screw up our plans for the afternoon.

May our love be like good wine, grow stronger as it grows older. ~ Old English Toast

Also, I've picked up a set (18 bottles?) of water for those who might need some during the After Party (AP).

If anyone wants to bring crackers/cheese/chocolate/etc. to the AP, you are welcome to do so.

Amazon has it (set of 2), and with Prime shipping, you can get it by Wednesday.

Wine Enthusiast also has one (set of 2).

Seems like I've seen them in local wine shops too (Total Wine, BevMo, etc.)

mommadeb1 wrote:perfect (except for no heat) am I correct in assuming casual for entire weekend (please?!)

You guys might see me in the same outfit all weekend... I am ALWAYS cold.....

Didn't you ask and we answered this question????

Casual is the whole weekend. But we hope you shower in between wearing the same outfit. But then we understand saving room for the wine in the suitcase.

So excited for this event - i shouldn't have any trouble getting there on my own, but now that more people are probably looking at this thread, does anyone know if they might have an extra spot in their car to drive to the BART station? Would be much appreciated!
